Helloo all you boyz...

[ScissorSista]

I noticed yesterday (prior to my first ever posting) that the ratio of lads to lasses was 1:0, now it's 6:1 (and I assume that I'm the 1). Well I must give my hellos to all you lovely chaps out there in virtual RPSland/ville (your preference) and look foreward to many lively discussions. Things are so much better as the odds are in my favour (make of that what you like).

However, as I am a relative beginner I can best cope with the medium sized things...'Tolstoy's War & Peace' a la Master Roshambo and MatthewCrimson are a little beyond me at the moment...although the melee makes very interesting reading.

Ta very muchly

What's up Sista 
    I hope you like the drama, cause it seems like there's always gonna be some around.  Hopefully you can find some useful tips for the game of RPS as well.  There might still be a few good threads around for strategy, tournaments, and such.  Nice to meet you.

Welcome, ScissorSista!  It's always good to see some new faces around here (especially when you look round at the old faces), and I see you're already making some interesting and amusing points. ("They're all jealous of you, Jef" - fantastic comment! )

You'll find there's plenty on here for beginners, improving players, even Masters and Masteresses. And there's always room for more discussions, drama and mickey-taking, so have fun!

Oh, and an introductory word of advice: half of what Master Rosh writes is superbly profound; well worth reading. The other half is a vacous blend of nonsense, disinformation and madness. The tricky bit is telling the two apart.

Welcome to the board, Sista.

That is one of the most confident entrances I've seen since Master Roshambollah's "I have returned"

Let's get one thing straight though.
This is a society that pays administrators to administrate on behalf of RPS players. A lot of people seem to be forgetting that lately.

I am one of those players. Jef is not. You would do well to aquaint yourself a little more with pecking order around here.

I'm not against you and Jef prattling away about how your customers are interfering with your ability to do your job, but not here.

Anyway, that is that.

Once again welcome to the board. Enjoy yourself.

regards
custardchuk

Martin, I'm so glad to know that at least someone appreciates my English humour. It's pretty thin on the ground after spending several years in different lintercontinental locations. But what intrigues me most is the fact that neither Jef nor Custardchuk came back at me with any passion (although I did like the "custardpoo" element.....) So much for the Bullboard "Master" or "Legend" status. Come on guys I want you to fire on all barrels...'cos I will take no prisoners. Any thoughts on "Bullboard frustration" Mr Rosh???

I guess everyone's just too busy with Mr Crimson. If you're out there Mr C can you let me know which character you align yourself most with in the movie Reservoir Dogs??? Obviously nothing to do with your search of the "answer" but it would keep me amused...(believe me I need all the amusement I can get!). And you can't get amusement by a random number generator, unless it comes with batteries...

Cheers
Sista

Lets start at the start, Sista.

It is Jef with one 'f', Roshambollah with two 'l's and custardchuk with a small 'c',

I'm sorry I'm so touchy but this is a Ground hog Day post. I know you are new but I am so sick of this.

You have picked the wrong year to be a newbie.

That said, I hope you stick with the board. Just spell it right.

Oh, and an introductory word of advice: half of what Master Rosh writes is superbly profound; well worth reading. The other half is a vacous blend of nonsense, disinformation and madness. The tricky bit is telling the two apart. 

"Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so that the other half may reach you."  -Kahlil Gibran

"If half of what you tell people are things they want to hear and half are things their best friends wouldn't say to their faces, they'll see you as the wisest motherfucker on the face of the planet."  -Master Roshambollah

As far as telling the two apart, that's the easy bit.  Many times during interviews, I have been asked (concerning RPS,)  "How much of what you're telling us is real, and how much is put-on?"  I tell them, as I tell you, "If what I'm saying sounds like an outrageous lie, I'm probably telling you the truth.  If what I'm saying sounds totally believable, most likely, I'm lying to your face."

"ScissorSista," I'd say hello and welcome you to the board, but I have a feeling I've already done so.  Based on linguistic analysis of your post, I know who you actually are.  I must say, this is probably the worst attempt by a man to pass as a woman since Klinger from M*A*S*H*.  I'm not saying that you write like a man.  I'm saying that you wrote like a woman before.

who cares, she still sounds hot!

Not to my knowledge.
Who do you think it is?
You must be pretty confident to put your foot so far down your neck.

Well Master Rosh, I'm going to take my time on you babe, as I will thoroughly relish every second when you have to eat your own words.

Suffice to say that some elementary research skills and a quick Google search would easily prove the error of your hypothesis.

So for the benefit of the bullboard I will start my rebuttle with:

Ouch,
This is going to be fun.

woah woah WOAH!

...

Klinger was a dude?  I've got soething new for my therapist this week. Welcome Sista!

[Jef Hallestone]

Well Master Rosh, I'm going to take my time on you babe

Oh great. Sissa Sissta is already falling into the Roshambollah trap, just like my mom did. Yes, it is true Rosh used to date my mom which provided no end to awkwardness during the holidays.

BTW Rosh, she says 'hi' and wonders when you will be next blowing through town...I hate it when she says that. She still thinks your transient nature holds a sense of mystery

[Master Roshambollah]

She still thinks your transient nature holds a sense of mystery

Rather than my mysterious nature holding a sense of transience?

If she only knew the truth; that my "transient nature," as you call it, represents a profound failure to come to terms with life in general and stability in particular, that I unfortunately find myself everywhere I go, and that I seem to be on a smooth but increasingly sharp downward slope, hurtling ever-faster towards an abyss of solipsism, insanity and ignominy.

I used to visit the home of Graham Walker, Director of Management for the World RPS Society.  On his wall, he had framed party invitations that included caricatures of common characters observed at some of Toronto's more infamous house parties.  One of them was titled "Perpetually Broke World Traveller."  I always thought that pretty much summed up my existence...then I met custardchuk.

Still, tell your mom I said hello, Jef.  Women like her used to be my stock-in-trade; otherwise intelligent, moderately conservative women for whom I was just intelligent and offbeat enough enough that they could project their "bad boy with a brain" fantasies onto me.  How wrong they were.  As soon as I realized what they were using me for (and, conversely, what I was using them for,) I lost all taste for such encounters.  Even so, you're mom's a class act, and I send her my best.  Ask her (I seem to have lost her number) if I still have a place at the table the next she serves her rib roast.  Now that you're a little older, it might be nice if you stayed up with us for conversation, instead of just going to bed.

I found most interesting a recent thread started by PaperMan, asserting that RPS fanaticism is highly attractive to the ladies. C. Urbanus and Arbiter promptly submitted transfer requests to wherever this was. I think this begs a larger issue facing the WRPSS: participation by women, in the Society and on the Board. - Master Roshambollah 11 October 2001

Perhaps it's because you destroy their fantasies...hunky guys, fists pumping as they prime their next move...

Leaving them with

maybe the WRPSS is perceived as being a bunch of geeks - Master Roshambollah 11 October 2001

Jef...get to bed!
